Dear Trent and family,

Your Mom was a fun woman whose passion in life was her family. We spent many fall weekends traveling with the Temple football group, never missing a game and always celebrating or consoling each other after the games. It was through social media that we reconnected and I always loved to share bits of our lives with your Mom. May she have eternal rest, and you receive peace in her memory...

Mrs.C...you and Mr.C were such an important part of my life when I was a youngster. Mikey was my first best friend and you both treated me like a son as my parents did with Mikey. And from that our families became life long friends. Will miss you dearly.
